So, you want to use PayPal for payment? Hopefully not; thats a big red flag for most buyers (myself included).

How are you proposing to trade currencies?
62  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Earn 131BTC or 1BTC for getting shops/organisations to accept Bitcoin! on: June 05, 2011, 07:17:18 AM
Pledging to get the Wild Chicken Coffee Shop to accept bitcoins as payment.

Hmm... Dont you think .25BTC is a little much to ship a card?
Thats 4.50$...

I will definalty buy some when the shipping drops a tad  Grin

What type of codes?
I would like to know what type you have (etc, 50% off, save 5$, buy 1 get 100 free)
65  Other / Obsolete (selling) / Re: Amoxicillin 500mg X 20 capsules on: June 05, 2011, 07:04:01 AM
In some places Amoxicillin is a prescription drug available only through a physician but in many parts of the world it is easy to walk into a drug store and buy it for cash.  I live in one of those places.  Considering that these are sealed blister packs manufactured by a well-known manufacturer there is little risk.  Also at the price of one BTC I will have to do considerable volume to make any money, so my only reasonable hope is to treat people well and gain repeat customers.

Who is your target audience for this?
Antibiotics.... I dont think you can get a very good high from those. Then again, I have never tried.

Just curious (because I have been on way to many regimines of amox), who is the manufacturer?

Hey guys, I got a bunch of these adapters, and found out I over ordered by 8.

How the heck did you do that?!?!?!

Screwed up coupon system so I got 8 for free  Shocked

Hey guys, I got a bunch of these adapters, and found out I over ordered by 8.
I bought each of em for 55$, selling for 2 bitcoins each (thats only 45$ USD! (right now...))

Here are some pics of said adapters:

An open one for reference:


All 8 of em; inside sealed original packaging. Brand spankin new. You know you want that shit.



Shipping is .33 bitcoin (current price), so it comes out to 2.83BTC Cheesy

Ships within the continental USA (as far as I figure, not sure how much international would be).

PM me if interested, or reply to this post.

Any questions? Just ask.

Thanks!

69  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Bitcoins.lc - Finally a usuable Bitcoin Pool! (IPv6, 0% fee, Long polling, JSON) on: June 05, 2011, 01:03:31 AM
Im sorry to say this, but Ill be back to this pool when the unconfirmed/confirmed balance can be payout equally. I cant loose my time, since im not very big miner and I need stable results

I thought the payout calculation problem was fixed?


We are soooo unlucky =/ I bet this block will do 1 mil+ shares

However, don't quit! Eventually, WE will get all the blocks  Grin

Eh this happened a couple days ago; as statistics would have it we found like 3 blocks the next day
70  Bitcoin / Mining / Deepbit Approaching 50% Once Again on: June 05, 2011, 12:44:46 AM
Hey guys, just wanted to point out some (somewhat unsettling) stats again:
Deepbit is approaching 50% of the hashing power once again  Undecided

While I dont have any beef with the operator of Deepbit ([Tycho] I believe), I have a beef with the security of our beloved Bitcoin.
As most of us know, the blockchain is secure as long as nobody controls more than or equal to 50% of the total hashing power of the network.
Deepbit seems to be ~40 percent, and has been climbing due to the massive influx of new miners and hardware. I'm not OK with that (Nothing personal, Tycho).

I suggest that those on Deepbit should switch to other, smaller pools, or some of the more powerful miners at least divert some of their resources to other pools to maintain a good hashing distribution equilibrium.
<advertisement>Furthermore, I would like to put in a plug forhttp://www.Bitcoins.lc; they are a 0% fee pool supporting long polling. Check em out. </advertisement>

Here is a chart of the current distribution:


Thanks for reading and supporting the security of Bitcoin Grin
71  Other / Obsolete (selling) / Re: Your BTC for my PayPal! on: June 03, 2011, 07:46:51 PM
Is it weird that I consider it more suspicious that somebody doesn't want to take paypal as a payment as opposed to somebody who wants to pay with paypal?

Yes, that's weird. Someone accepting a PayPal payment from a stranger is at very high risk of being defrauded.

Turns out, he IS a scammer!  Roll Eyes

Is anybody really surprised that this is happening?
It was only a matter of time before the script kiddies started exploiting bitcoin. He didn't even encrypt his binary!
73  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: What are we gonna do about the DDOSing? on: June 03, 2011, 07:41:03 PM
DDoSing all pools would require even more lots of (expensive) botnet members. I'm not sure if this pays off.

Cost to prevent bitcoin mining < Cost to mine bitcoins

Expensive botnet members?
I can buy 1000 bots for 100$ or less, and have em DDoS for me.
Even cheaper if I write my own bot, which is not very difficult (even a FUD one).

If a botnet owner w/ around 15000 zombies (not very uncommon) wanted to mine coins, by golly he could. Set 7500 of em to CPU mining, the other 7500 to DDoS'ing the pools with bad packets.
74  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: 6990s worth it compared to cheaper video cards? i.e. 5830s on: June 03, 2011, 07:36:44 PM
It's not worth it.  I've done the calculations many times, and every time, the 5850/5830 wins out on electrical usage and MHash/$ compared to the 6990.

My friend bought two 6990's, but only because he is one of the types to buy top-end stuff if he is going to buy anything at all.  I make more MH/s than him and spent several hundred less.

totally agree, got a bud that picked up a 6990 when he got into mining, i chose 3 5870's for the same price.   Tongue

Actually I think I might've paid less than his 6990 while getting more m/hash

So 3 5870's consume <= power than a single 6990? Heh, I may have to change my plans for future rigs Cheesy

for sure it consumes more power, but I also have 50% more hashing power, roughly.
I'm getting 400m/hash with each 5870, can oc it some more to get a little more juice but eh. While the 6990 is 700-800mhash depending on clocks. 1.2ghash>800mhash

One other thing; a 5870 costs ~ 400 each; and you get 400MH/s out of it. A 6990 costs ~750, but I easily get 830MH/s out of it.
Just curious how this works out in the favor of the 5870?

You obviously have a card that consumes no power to run!  Cheesy
77  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Return of Mystery Miner? on: May 30, 2011, 05:55:32 PM
It is very possible that we had a botnet come online. Not very difficult to find a nice sized (30K - 50K) botnet these days.
78  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: More problems with Deepbit pool? on: May 30, 2011, 05:53:38 PM
I had some more problems just now -- it's working MORE OR LESS but it just sputtered out again, and I decided to switch to my "backup pool" for a while until they can sort out otheir DDoS attack or whatever is ailing them.

Well, they are not taking any fees right now, so maybe use a mining proxy with a fallback pool set up to mine for them.
79  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Mining accidents having caused physical damage (overheating hw, fires, etc) on: May 30, 2011, 05:50:59 PM
I lost a finger nail from a 5400 RMP Gentle Typhoon liquid cooling fan  Shocked
Also, I had a small fire start in one of the sockets that the miner was plugged into. Luckly, it was at night, so I was home and caught it in time.

Haha hey, I did a lot of work with the Arduino a little while ago, maybe I can help with this project. Here is an example of a little program I wrote to bit bang PWM to some RGB led's:
